Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a human subject suffering from graft-versus-host disease and/or diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and/or veno-occlusive disease associated with a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to MASP-3 inhibitory antibodies and compositions comprising such antibodies for use in inhibiting the adverse effects of MASP-3 dependent complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for preventing, treating, reverting and/or delaying angiogenesis in a mammalian subject suffering from, or at risk for developing, an angiogenesis-dependent disease or condition, comprising administering to the subject an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit angiogenesis. In some embodiments of these aspects of the invention, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent is a MASP-2 antibody or fragment thereof.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for reducing proteinuria in a human subject suffering, or at risk of developing Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN). The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory antibody effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating, inhibiting, alleviating or preventing fibrosis in a mammalian subject suffering, or at risk of developing a disease or disorder caused or exacerbated by fibrosis and/or inflammation. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from renal fibrosis. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of reducing proteinuria in a subject suffering from a renal disease or condition associated with proteinuria. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-MASP-2 inhibitory antibodies and compositions comprising such antibodies for use in inhibiting the adverse effects of MASP-2 dependent complement activation.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a human subject suffering from TMA associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.
